Nightmare Cruise

[Dennis]

SAN DIEGO – Relieved passengers wheeled their suitcases down the gangplank of a disabled cruise ship Thursday, cheering as they finally touched land after three nightmarish days adrift with limited food, backed-up toilets and dark cabins.



Pulled by six tug boats and escorted by Coast Guard cutters, the nearly 1,000-foot Carnival Splendor reached the dock at about 8:30 a.m. PST. The first group of passengers walked down a ramp about an hour later, dragging rolling suitcases behind them and entering a tent on the dock. With the ship's elevators out of order, port officials estimated it would take about four hours for everyone to leave the ship

At least they didnt sink and die. They should be happy for that.

I'm sure they are, but i would sure as hell be pissed if my luxury cruise turned into this.

Well I wouldn't go on a cruise in the 1st place. If I wanted to go somewhere, I'd go there. Fly there, car or bus. No need to float around on a boat for weeks.
